NeoConMan Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Money no object, what would be the first ten guitars you bought? Okay, vintage stuff would likely be all ten in that case but, what about new regular production or custom guitars? What would they be?

badjuju342 Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Now here is yet another cool reason to work for Gibson; you get some great discounts on guitars and Gibson gear. So I would just wander around the plant randomly picking out guitars. There is a catch, though: If you purchase any guitar on the employee purchase plan , you have to keep it for at least a year. So winning the lottery would put me on a mad shopping spree at work and then on the car lots buying old cars.
NeoConMan Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 JuJu, did you read my SG 12 string thread? Any thoughts on that? What do you do for a day job at Gibson?
Thundergod Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I actually would buy new production stuff. I would like 5 from gibson custom shop, 2 from gibson USA, 2 fenders, one of those new VOX guitars. Gibson R6 (prefferably sunburst but goldtop is ok too) Gibson R9 Gibson ES 339 (sunburst) Gibson 1960 special single cutaway les paul (tv yellow) Gibson Custom (ebony) (this one could be replaced by a Dark Fire) Gibson SG standard Gibson SG 61 reissue Fender Hot Rod 52 Telecaster Fender American Deluxe HSS stratocaster (3 tone sunburst) VOX Virage double cut (sunburst)
badjuju342 Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 JuJu' date=' did you read my SG 12 string thread? Any thoughts on that? What do you do for a day job at Gibson?[/quote'] That has got to be a custom shop piece the more I think of it . A one-off like that is incredibly rare as a production piece and you just don't see it. It is possible you latched on a prototype , too.I am the Lead Tech in 2nd shift Electronics ( supervisor of sorts). We build all the pickups for Nashville , Memphis,and Custom Shop from start to finish.
NeoConMan Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 Prototype is a possibility, seeing how the collector before me had a bunch of Fenders that were openly declared as such. All the oddball Gibsons he had flew out of the store in a matter of days - literally - so I didn't learn much about them. What about the regular serial number? Is that simply because it was a regular EDS-1275 neck? I understand the double necks were not a Custom Shop guitar in 1995. True or false? Maybe somebody snagged a neck and took it to the Custom Shop? I was under the impression that the serial number was one of the last things done to the guitar. It would have been largely complete by the time the neck got stamped, no? I'll send a PM with the serial. I appreciate any light you can shed on it for me. I'll buy you the frosty adult beverage of your choice next time I'm in Tennessee. :-)
Duende Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 a secondhand macaferri acoustic a Gibson Chet Atkins Tennesean another Tony Johnson Classical Guitar an Ibanez Chrome Boy for my wife (a huge Satch fan) a Yamaha SG2000 Bernie Torme's 1962 Fender Stratocaster given by Ozzy...or son of version I think that is it. I am not a greedy man $50000 would do all my list above Matt
NeoConMan Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 Dobro DM-33 with engraved body Guild BluesBird (made in Rhode Island) Gretsch Jet Firebird with Bigsby and humbuckers 1970's Hagstrom Swede in natural Mahogany Phantom Mk VI (new Vox reissue) Rickenbacker 650 Dakota Turner Model One Yamaha SBG 2000 New Custom Shop Les Paul in natural Mahogany with a Bigsby and chrome hardware New Taylor 615 in natural finish with Florentine cutaway Many of them I would buy used since production has ceased. None are incredibly expensive, I've just wanted these for years. Then I would buy about 30 pieces out of Bizarre Guitar in Phoenix. That tab would be around $100k. Next stop, Gibson Custom Shop for a list of exotic beauties. THEN vintage shopping!
FirstMeasure Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Custom Shops, Here I Come. This is a Gibson Forum, so I'll Start there Double-Neck Nighthawk (Like my Avatar, only Doubleneck) Ice-Tea Burst Flame-Top Les Pual, Ebony Fret Board, '57 pick ups. ES-135 Limited edition Fender Surf Green Strat one piece Rosewood Neck and Maple Skunck Stripe (look at Joe Walshes Strats on the Strat PAck, you'll see a Black one with a neck like this) Bound Flame Maple Top Cherryburst Tele with onepeice Maple neck Acoustic Gibson J-200 Guild 12String Martin Clapton model One of Stevie Ray Vaughans Strats to put on display and play on special occasions, like his White one with Lipstick PU's. {edit} Darn it I forgot to get a Dobro!
